Movie Reviews of Glenn Gould: Hereafter
Movie Review: A Great Introdution - a must see
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are not familiar with Glen Gould, this is a great introduction. I was spellbound, and it wet my appetite for more. I bought The Goldberg Variations DVD very soon after.
If on the other hand you are as skeptical and cynical as Gould was (and he attracts many such admirers), then you will probably not enjoy it. It is sentimental and far from an objective scholarly work. I think the 1 star reviewer makes some good points, but he is a little harsh. If I read that review before I bought it, I may have been put off from buying, and I dont think that would have served me well.
In my opinion, this DVD is a must see. I would recommend buying it, watching it (a few times), and then passing it on to someone else. I have watched both this and The Goldberg Variations many times, and although Hereafter made a strong first impression, in the long run, The Goldberg Variations is the only of the two I watch now - unless of course a keen visitor comes over.
Summary of Glenn Gould: Hereafter
Glenn Gould remains an enigmatic, fascinating figure more than two decades after his death. This new film, directed by Gould's friend Bruno Monsaingeon, who has already written four books and made a 23-part TV series about him, is something very special. Taken from Gould's own words, the pianist himself seems to act as narrator in a retrospective on his life and art. A great deal of archival footage of both interviews and performances exemplify the pianist's genius and eccentricities. There are modern-day interviews as well. One with an Italian woman who comes to hang out with a sculpture of Gould in front of the CBC building in Toronto lets us in on the emotional effect he had on people, and many others discuss how he changed their perceptions of music. Gould himself is remarkably insightful in interviews. He seems to have been a man incapable of being boring or thoughtless. And, of course, the music speaks for itself. You'll hear some of the most stunning playing. Even those of us who already know and appreciate Gould will find new things here. This film is an eye- and ear-opening delight. --Robert LevineArt House & International DVD Video
